Neurobia Research: stroke rehabilitation with virtual reality and motion tracking

Medical product with virtual reality and machine learning to assess and rehabilitate patients’ motor condition after a stroke.

Health and medical Startup $50,000 – $100,000 6 – 12 months

The price includes design, functional prototyping, product testing and optimization.

Why develop a rehabilitation product with virtual reality?

1

Objective assessment

Motor assessment after a stroke relied on subjective observation; the sensor provides objective data.

2

A 12-month window

Patients have about 12 months after the stroke that are critical for motor recovery.

3

More accessible rehabilitation

Motion-analysis labs are expensive; the system uses a widely available sensor.

4

Patient motivation

Exercises are presented as Olympic-style competitions in a video-game environment.

Desktop application

Cross-platform app installed on a computer that manages the sensor intelligently.

Kinect sensor

Microsoft’s advanced observation sensor to track movement.

Virtual reality

Olympic-style video-game environment for rehabilitation.

Rehabilitation module

Exercises set by the doctor or physiotherapist, with frequency and biomechanical targets.

Diagnostic module

Targets similar to those used in the neurologist’s office, with follow-up assessment from home.

Medical report

The assessment becomes a report the healthcare professional can access.

Machine learning

Machine learning models for assessment and rehabilitation.

“In rehabilitation, the system has to track the patient’s movement accurately and also be comfortable to use. There, sensors and software shaped the design of the whole team. If we could do this, we can surely do your idea.”
